Troparion – Tone 3 (Resurrection)
This Week’s Services & Events
Let the heavens rejoice! Let the earth be glad! For the Lord has shown strength with His arm. He has trampled down death by death. He has become the first born of the dead. He has delivered us from the depths of hell, and has granted to the world//great mercy.
Troparion – Tone 8 (St. Vladimir) O Holy Prince Vladimir, you were like a merchant in search of fine pearls. By sending servants to Constantinople for the Orthodox Faith, you found Christ, the priceless Pearl. He appointed you to be another Paul, washing away in baptism your physical and spiritual blindness. We celebrate your memory, asking you to pray for all suffering Christians of Russia //and for us, your spiritual children. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit!
Kontakion – Tone 8 (St. Vladimir) O Most-glorious Vladimir, in your old age you imitated the great apostle Paul: he abandoned childish things, while you forsook the idolatry of your youth. Together with him you reached the fullness of Divine Wisdom: you were adorned with the purity of Holy Baptism. //Now as you stand before Christ our Savior, pray that all Orthodox Christians may be saved. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Kontakion – Tone 1
(The Last Judgment)
When Thou, O God, shalt come to earth with glory, all things shall tremble, and the river of fire shall flow before Thy judgment seat; the books shall be opened, and the hidden things disclosed; then deliver me from the unquenchable fire,// and make me worthy to stand at Thy right hand, O Righteous Judge!
Epistle – 1 Cor. 8:8-9:2
